FocusToDir and the patch
Teemu Hirsimaki
"FocusToDir north | east | south | west". It moves the focus to the
closest window in the given direction and seems to be quite handy if
you like mouseless operations.
You can get the patch from "http://www.hut.fi/~thirsima/fvwm.html".
Mail me if you have problems with the patch - I must admit that I am
not very familiar with patches. :)

I haven't tried this patch but I wonder if it is possible to make the
direction stuff a bit more general? Instead of a new command that does
fixed things in a certain direction I think it might be nice to have it
take conditions like Next & Prev and execute a function on the selected
window e.g.
GoToDir [North !Iconic !*OnBottom*] my_funky_focus_function
GoToDir [South West !Iconic] focus_and_flash_border
Hope this helps
Tim.

Yes, you are absolutely right. That would be a lot more useful.
I think I will spend the next weekend hacking the sources more. :)
